Bring back a physical indicator stalk
Touch-capacitive indicator buttons on the wheel are hard to use mid-turn at a roundabout. A traditional stalk is safer for UK roundabout-heavy driving.

Add calendar reminders that sync to my phone for appointments
When I book or am invited to an appointment, offer a one-tap “Add to calendar” with a reminder the day before. It would cut missed appointments significantly.

Let me set “never substitute” rules for allergies
On a delivery I once received a substitution containing nuts. Let me flag allergy items as “never substitute” at the account level so it applies to every order automatically.

Let me set a charge limit at any percentage, not just 80%
Battery health management only offers an 80% cap. Letting me pick 70%, 85% or 90% would help people who keep phones for years and want to tune longevity vs daily range.

Auto-trigger Delay Repay when I’ve tapped in with a digital ticket
If you already know my train was 20 minutes late and I had a ticket for it, pay the Delay Repay automatically instead of making me fill in a form each time.

Show a clear status timeline for repeat prescriptions
Right now I can’t tell if my prescription has been approved by the GP, sent to the pharmacy, or is ready to collect. A simple status timeline (Requested → Approved → At pharmacy → Ready) would save endless phone calls.

Proper playlist folders on mobile, not just desktop
I can organise playlists into folders on the desktop app but not on my phone, where I actually use it. Bring folders to mobile so big libraries stay manageable.

Offer a callback time window instead of “sometime today”
Waiting all day for a doctor’s callback means I can’t plan work or childcare. Even a rough two-hour window (e.g. “between 2 and 4pm”) would make a huge difference.

Show live seat reservation status on the platform display
Reservation cards above seats are often blank even when the seat is booked. Live, accurate seat status on the app and carriage screens would stop the awkward shuffle.

Add a clearly-labelled call recording toggle for the UK
Recording an important call (e.g. with a utility company) currently needs a second device. A built-in toggle with an automatic “this call is being recorded” announcement would be genuinely useful and stay on the right side of the rules.

Free bin-day reminder notifications with the correct bin colour
A free opt-in reminder the evening before collection — telling me which bin to put out — would massively cut missed collections and wrong bins on the kerb.

Notify me via the app if something I bought is recalled
You have my purchase history through Nectar — if a product I bought is recalled for safety, please push me a notification rather than relying on a poster in store.

Show the non-Clubcard price next to the Clubcard price more clearly
The big yellow Clubcard price can make it hard to see the actual price you pay without the card. Clearer side-by-side pricing would be fairer for everyone.

More reliable automatic wipers for British drizzle
The camera-based wipers struggle with light, persistent UK rain — either too slow or suddenly frantic. A simple manual sensitivity dial would solve it instantly.

Let users fully remove duplicate pre-installed apps
Shipping with two browsers, two app stores and two galleries is confusing. Allow people to uninstall (not just disable) the duplicates they don’t use.

A plain-English summary at the top of every planning application
Applications are full of jargon. A short “what’s being proposed, in plain English” summary at the top would help residents understand and respond meaningfully.

Text me when results are in and normal — don’t make me chase
A simple “your results are back and no action is needed” text would save patients worrying and save reception huge numbers of calls.

Physical buttons for heating and volume, not touch sliders
The touch sliders for temperature and volume are fiddly and not backlit at night. Tactile buttons or knobs would be safer and more pleasant.

Online booking for check-ups instead of phone-only at 8am
Everyone calls the moment the lines open and it’s engaged for an hour. A simple online booking page for routine check-ups would remove the daily phone scramble.

Let me set a “finish by” time, not just a delay start
I want the wash done by 6pm, but I have to calculate the delay myself based on programme length. Let me just enter the time I want it finished.

Offer half sizes across the whole range, including limited editions
Limited editions often skip half sizes, so people between sizes can’t buy them at all. Consistent half sizes would mean fewer returns and happier customers.

One app for dinners, trips and clubs instead of three
We currently juggle separate logins for lunch money, school trips and after-school clubs. Consolidating into a single payments app would save parents a lot of stress each morning.

Better support for very large text and screen readers
Some buttons get cut off at the largest text size, and a few icons aren’t labelled for VoiceOver. Tightening accessibility would help a lot of older users who rely on the app most.

Sell shoes with a clearly-marked “growing room” gauge
Print a simple thumb-width guide and a visible wear indicator so parents know exactly when shoes still fit and when to replace them. Saves money and avoids cramped little feet.

A QR code inside the door for ordering the exact spare parts
Finding the right filter or door seal for a specific model is a nightmare. A QR code printed inside the door that opens the correct spares list would make self-repair so much easier.

Show nearby planning applications on a map I can filter
Searching by reference number is hard if you just want to know “what’s being built near me?”. A filterable map view would make local planning far more accessible.

Let me reserve a bike space when buying a ticket
Bike spaces are first-come-first-served and I’ve been turned away twice. A simple reservation when booking would make cycle-rail journeys reliable.

Give a clear written cost estimate before private treatment
A printed or emailed breakdown of what’s NHS, what’s private and the exact cost before I agree would remove a lot of anxiety about surprise bills.

Gentle volume fade-out on the sleep timer
When the sleep timer ends it cuts off abruptly and sometimes wakes me. A 30-second fade-out would be far kinder.

Clearly signed quiet zones and a separate area for group study

Let me photograph bulky waste so the crew knows what to expect
When booking a bulky waste collection, let me upload a photo. Crews would arrive with the right vehicle and fewer collections would be refused on the day.
